A NEIGHBOR TAUGHT US
Now is as good a time as any, on the eve of the golden
anniversary of Temple B’Nai Sholem, to reveal why the editor
of The Mirror has never had his heart cluttered up with hatred,
anmosity or disdain for those of Jewish birth.
Any inclination we might have had to be anti-Semitec
was removed from us in very early childhood by as sweet and
kind and lovable a woman as New Bern ever knew—Mrs. Sam
Lipman. Being her neighbor for a quarter of a century was
an inspiring experience. '
Mrs. Lipman was all that any good neighbor could be.
If she ever spoke harshly to any child, we can’t recall it. This
despite the fact that most certainly they must have worried
her many times. The kids in our neighborhood were no angels,
but here was a woman saintly enough in her own right to over
look our shortcomings.
For the life of us, we can’t remember her voice raised
in exasperation or irritation. Come to think of it, we never
did hear her raise her voice about anything. We do, however,
affectionately remember her smile, and the “Jew bread” she
gave us from a kitchen where she spent many an hour cooking
for her large and hungry family.
Mrs. Lipman didn’t practice goodness to impress any
body, for she was completely devoid of pretense. She was
good because it was in her heart to be good, and that’s the way
it always ought to be.
Her neighborliness wasn’t restricted to children. As a
child we found her to be the perfect neighbor, but when we
reached manhood’s estate she remained no less wonderful. No
one could say more than that' about anybody, and saying it
about her is an accurate statement of fact.
She didn’t gossip, and she didn’t meddle, but when sor
row came to your door, Mrs. Lipman walked in right behind
it. Your trouble was her trouble, and in her own quiet way
she was the one friend you would have wanted most to have
had around at at time like that.
Along the way, since then, we’ve had the misfortune to
encounter some Jews who weren’t quite as nice as this neigh
bor of ours. In fact, some of them were extremely obnoxious.
In the same iourney through life we’ve bumped into some Prot
estants and Catholics who were mighty obnoxious too.
By the same token we’ve met other good Jews, in addition
to Mrs. Lipman. Some of them, still among the living, are
among our dearest friends. It didn’t take them to teach us
tolerance, however. Mrs. Lipman’s example was lesson enough
for a lifetime.
That’s why, as a Protestant, it does our heart good to see
Temple B’Nai Sholem approach the observance of fiftieth
anniversary. We’re glad, because we’re proud to live in a
community where people of all faiths can worship as they
see fit—in freedom and good conscience.
Any place of worship that has the Ten CorsKnandments
inscribed over its doorway deserves to be a lasting House of
God. And because Temple B’Nai Sholem has endured, New
Bern is a better town for all New Bernians.
The Jews have made a great contribution to our civiliza
tion, and through our mutual Biblical heroes of the Old Testa
ment, they haev made a contribution to our Protestant and
Catholic faiths.
Anyone who heard the program of traditional Jewish music
presented last Sunday in the Temple knows too that the Jews
have also made a tremendous contribution to sacred music.
Speaking of that program, the four-member choir was com
posed of two Presbyterians, a Methodist and an Episcopalean.
Narration was by a Jewish rabbi, and among the listeners in
addition to Protestants and Jews were two Catholic nuns.
That, to us, was America at its best. You can appreciate
Jewish music in all of its beauty without being a Jew. And,
if your heart is right, you can appreciate the faith that is near
and dear to them without being a Jew.
May Temple B’Nai Sholem continue its spiritual blessing
and its community service in the years to come.

FOR THOSE WE LOVE
Why do we hurt the ones we love,
It’s tragic, but it’s true;
I’ve got a smile for others, »
But I bring my frowns to you.
Those worries that infest the day,
I guess I get my share.
Are saved until I venture home.
And then I leave them there.
It really doesn’t make much sense.
And yet, I always ■ind
That when it comes to strangers
I’m mostly always kind.
But with you, well, things are different,
I never let you know
That you’re appreciated, and that I need you so.
Yes, people hurt the ones they love.
It’s tragic, but it’s true.
That’s why I smile for others
And bring my frowns to you.
